28 Years Later

An unforgettable scene: bicycle courier Jim wakes up after an accident, 28 days earlier, in a London hospital that is totally deserted. In his hospital clothes, he goes outside to discover that the whole city is deserted. It turns out that a life-threatening virus has escaped from a laboratory that turns anyone infected with it into a bloodthirsty creature. It was the starting point of 2002's 28 Days Later, a very haunting horror film by British director Danny Boyle, for which Alex Garland wrote the screenplay. Now, 23 years later, the two have made the chilling sequel, 28 Years Later.

Almost 30 years after the “Anger virus” has escaped, strict quarantine rules still apply worldwide. On a small island, accessible only by a heavily guarded bridge, lives a group of survivors. Among them young Spike, who travels to the mainland with his father Jamie in the hope of finding a cure for their dying mother/wife Isla. There, the two make staggering discoveries about the nature of the virus.
